My sister was able to transfer ALL of her credits from COB to the University of Virginia. She graduated with her BA in accounting in 2006 after only 1 year at the University because she was able to transfer all of her credits. My situation was a bit different. I graduated from COB in 2009 with an AA degree. That fall, I attended the University of Warwick in the UK (a UK top10 University). My offer to attend the university was conditional upon my graduation from COB with my degree, unless I would've been required to sit a full year of prerequisite courses. My degree was basically equivalent to their A-levels.
You'd be surprised (or not) to see exactly who gets these scholarships - sons and daughters of some of the most well-off in our society, children of doctors, lawyers, businessmen etc. Its been going on from time immemorial. I remember hearing them give out the National merit Scholarship, I think that's the highest scholarship given out by the government and I was shocked to see it going to the child of one of the most well known doctors in our society. Yes the child may be qualified, but lets be honest, does the child of one of the most wealthy men in the country really need that scholarship? Now the loans situation is another story...its who you know.
So the fact that the PLP inherited the worst economy of any government in our country's history accounts for nothing then? What the FNM did in 5 years after inheriting a robust economy from the PLP was criminal.

No, I'm saying their policies made it worst. And the PLP is still picking up the pieces. Put blame where blame belongs is all...
